Setting Up Remote Desktop in Windows XP

Posted by on 06/22 at 09:22 AM Permalink

Why would you want to connect remotely to another desktop on your network, you ask? Say you are at home comfortably working in bed and your laptop doesn’t have the word processing application you need, but the computer in the living room does. If a wireless or wired network connects your computers, you can access the application you need from the computer in your living room without leaving your bedroom. The same goes for the office: why walk all the way back to shipping to print out a label with postage to send out a package when you can connect remotely and save yourself the walk.

  1. I have a small home network in which I have mac (10.4.6)and pcs,(XP
    Home edition) I have found a way to share a printer in my macs, what
    is necessary to do in order to share the printers among pc’s and
    macs? By the way, I have USB printers in all computers but would like
    to use some of them for specific print jobs.

    Thanks

  2. I am running windows xp and when I go to system prop my screen only shows remote assistance not remote desktop. I am assuming I need additional sofware?

  4. Thanks!  I was having a brain--issue (to put it mildly).  Missing one step!  You guys made me slap myself in the forehead it was such a stupid oversight!

    I’ll visit again!

  7. the information u gave is great EXCEPT for the fact that u neglect to mention that this set=up will only work if ur running xp pro or better,any version of xp home does NOT have the option to set=up remote desktop.

  8. I am working at home, typing remotely on a computer at my work.. it is difficult because there is such a delay in when I use the mouse or hit a key on my keyboard for it to show up on my screen.. I have changed the experience option on teh connection to the remote computer to the 28.8 modem and I have my screen resolution lowered too.. is there anything else that could possibly be done to resolve this issue? Thanks so much
